The Cinema of Internment - Film and Speaker Series Spring 2005

This film and speaker series redefines the ways in which we conventionally think about the concept of internment. Bringing together a range of issues addressed by each installment, this series help us to understand the effects of power through the interaction of shifting spatial boundaries, dynamic structures of feeling, and the forces of history-in-the-present. Thus, the points of fixation which emerge from these effects of power account for the present challenge-- historicizing the institution of mass imprisonment-- a challenge this series offers as an occasion for reflection and dialogue.
